A Message from the third grade members of Environmental Club:

NDLC will be collecting your Little Bites bags from now until May! The Entenmann company has a collection service where if you send in a box of recycled Little Bites bags they will give you money for your organization. It's a nice way to raise money for our school for recycling!

Here are examples of what we are collecting:

Send the empty bags to school and we will take care of the rest!

Thanks,

NDLC Environmental Club

Curriculum Updates:

Reading: We've had a great start to our historical fiction book clubs. Students set in place some really great strategies and tools so they can be successful with their book club. Please check in with your child, are they meeting their reading goals? It is really important that all book club members are carrying their load so all members can be successful! It has been amazing seeing how much the students are learning about the different historical time periods from their books. 

Math: Students took their Unit 8 Math Test today (2/11/22) and will be coming home with their graded test to be signed early next week. 

Writing: Alongside reading historical fiction, we are writing historical fiction pieces. Much of what we learned last unit is able to transfer nicely into this unit. Students are getting really comfortable with the writing processes and making those big bold revision that may make their paper look crazy and messy! Again, it has just been really great watching these kiddos incorporate and interpret history into their writing. 

I hope you have a fantastic weekend! ❤
